sto scaricando la versione current di slackware
per avere una roller appunto di slackware da tenere sempre aggiornata

ho sempre usato xfce , ma ho scoperto che anche kde plasma mi piace , e vorrei installarlo appunto sulla current

come devo procedere ?
questi sono i passaggi che farò , dopo non vorrei sbagliare e chiedo un'aiuto

installo slackware normalmente
impostao kde come ambiente predefinito

chiedo come

installare kde plasma
configurare correttamente current per avere la roller di slackware
se hai paura di far domande...
                                             ...hai paura d'imparare
     ... non si finisce mai d'imparare...

Meglio se di KDE non installi niente perché comunque poi ti toccherà rimuoverlo.

Ci sono almeno due modi per installare Ktown (kde5): il primo è quello ufficiale, spiegato direttamente da alienbob nel README che accompagna il repo,

lo riporto integralmente:

KDE5
====

Here is KDE 5_17.10 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.39.0,
Plasma 5.11.0 and Applications 17.08.2 on top of Qt 5.9.2.

Upgrading from the previous 5_17.09 is straight-forward.

KDE-5_17.10 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware -current.
It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!  Plasma 5
has mostly gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy.  Applications 17.12 will no longer
ship anything based on kdelibs4.

What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
- A few updates in the deps section.  Most importantly, qt5 was upgraded
  to 5.9.2.  Two packages were recompiled: ddcutil and gpgme.
- Plasma was updated to 5.11.0, see
  https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.11.0.php .
  I compiled plasma5-nm against openconnect so that it picks up support for
  it.  However I did not add openconnect to the 'deps' section, you need
  to install it separately if you need it.
  New to Plasma 5.11 is the Vault. It needs an encryption backend (cryfs or
  encfs) at runtime but I did not add these to the 'deps'.  I might create
  packages for those in my regular repository however.
  Plasma 5.11 has more improvements, among others it comes with a new design
  for systemsettings.
- Frameworks 5.39.0 contains one new framework: qqc2-desktop-style, see
  https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.39.0.php
- Applications 17.08.2 is a stability update for KDE Applications
  17.08 (where the following applications are finally also KF5 based: kmag,
  kmousetool, kgoldrunner, kigo, konquest, kreversi, ksnakeduel, kspaceduel,
  ksudoku, kubrick, lskat, and umbrello).
  See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.08.2.php .
- In applications-extra I updated kpmcore, partitionmanager, krita and
  the kdevelop suite (now finally including kdev-python).

Further points of interest:
- There are a couple of *runtime* dependencies that I did not add to the
  ktown repository, but you may want to consider installing them yourself:
  * vlc - will give phonon another backend to select from.
  * freerdp: access RDP servers through krdc.
  * openconnect: support for Cisco's SSL VPN.
  All of these can be found in my regular package repository.
- The following kde/kde4-extragear packages should be taken from slackware
  itself if you still need them: kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart.
- Lots of packages in the 'deps' department are completely new to Slackware.
  Since KDE 5 aka Plasma 5 is built on Qt5 (KDE 4 uses Qt4 as its base)
  you'll find many Qt5 related packages.  Also, in order for Qt4 and GTK based
  applications to dock into the Plasma 5 system tray, more dependencies were
  needed.  So, apart from updates to regular Slackware packages and the
  new telepathy support packages (see below), these are the new ones:
  OpenAL, PyQT5, accountsservice, cfitsio, cracklib, ddcutil, dvdauthor,
  frei0r-plugins, grantlee-qt4, hack-font-ttf, id3lib, json-glib, lensfun,
  libappindicator, libburn, libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx,
  libindicator, libinput, libpwquality, libwacom, libxkbcommon, lmdb, mlt,
  ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf, opencv, polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5,
  qrencode, qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, qtav, sni-qt, vid.stab
  and wayland.
  As a side note, libinput and libwacom have become part of Slackware-current.
  Technically that makes them redundant in the above listing, however I still
  compile Plasma5 packages for Slackware 14.2 so I left them in.
  The phonon and poppler packages were extended so that they now support
  Qt5 as well as Qt4.
  Note that the SBo version of 'frei0r-plugins' package is called 'frei0r'.
  If you have that SBo package installed, remove it.
- A completely new subset of "deps" packages, contained in their own
  "telepathy" subdirectory, needed for KDE Telepathy:
  libotr, libnice, farstream, libaccounts-glib, libaccounts-qt5,
  signon, signon-plugin-oauth2, signon-ui, libsignon-glib, telegram-qt,
  telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble,
  telepathy-morse, telepathy-qt5, telepathy-logger, telepathy-logger-qt5,
  telepathy-mission-control and telepathy-accounts-signon.
- Telepathy for KDE packages are found in their own subdirectory kde/telepathy .
- The kde/kde4 and kde/kde4-extragear directories contain packages that are
  still required to support kdelibs4-based Applications.
- Also worth mentioning: the KF5 ports of calligra, digikam, kile, krita,
  ktorrent, partitionmanager, skanlite and the KDE Development Suite
  can be found in kde/applications-extra .
  Finally, kjots (previously contained in KDEPIM) and kuser (abandoned by its
  developer) have been moved into kde/applications-extra as well.

NOTE:
If you install a 32bit program on a 64bit Slackware computer with multilib
and that program needs legacy system tray support (think of Steam for
instance), you will have to grab the 32-bit version of Slackware's
'libdbusmenu-qt' and my ktown-deps package 'sni-qt', and run the
'convertpkg-compat32 -i' command on them to create 'compat32' versions
of these packages.  Then install both 'libdbusmenu-qt-compat32' and
'sni-qt-compat32'.  Those two are mandatory addons for displaying
system tray icons of 32bit binaries in 64bit multilib Plasma5.

NOTE:
Also explained in more detail below, upgrading to this KDE 5 is non-trivial.
You will have to remove old KDE 4 packages manually.  If you do not have KDE
installed at all, you will have to *install* some of Slackware's own KDE 4
packages manually.

NOTE:
If you decide to install these packages on top of a fresh installation of
  Slackware 14.2 or -current and have excluded all packages in the 'KDE'
  package series during installation, you will be missing several add-on
  packages.  You can optionally install the following Slackware packages:
    * amarok
    * kaudiocreator
    * kplayer
    * kwebkitpart

NOTE:
If you had installed KDE 4 as your default desktop previously, the removal
of KDE 4 packages will break the symbolic link '/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc'.
An attempt to run 'startx' in a console will fail with a black screen.
After installing Plasma 5 for the first time, you need to run 'xwmconfig'
and select 'xinitrc.plasma' as your desktop session.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install pre-compiled packages:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In order to install or upgrade KDE 5, follow these steps:

Make sure you are not running KDE or even X !  If you are running an X session,
log out first, and if you are in runlevel 4 (graphical login) you first have to
go back to runlevel 3 (console) by typing "init 3".

If you still have a KDE 4 installed, it must be removed first. No clean
upgrade path can be provided!  Do as follows:

If you have Slackware 14.2 or -current's default KDE 4.14.3 installed:
  # removepkg /var/log/packages/*-4.14.3-*
  # removepkg libkscreen
  # removepkg kscreen
  # removepkg kactivities
  # removepkg kde-workspace
  # removepkg libmm-qt
  # removepkg libnm-qt
  # removepkg plasma-nm
  # removepkg polkit-kde-agent-1
  # removepkg polkit-kde-kcmodules-1
  # removepkg kdeconnect-kde
  # removepkg kdepim
  # removepkg kdepimlibs
  # removepkg kdev-python
  # removepkg kdevelop-php
  # removepkg kdevelop-php-docs
  ..or instead of the above, simply '# slackpkg remove kde' and de-select
  the packages you want to keep (amarok, etc).

Alternatively, in case you are already using an older release of my KDE 5
packages, you need to look up that particular release in the list right below
(for instance: KDE 5_16.08) and then apply the actions shown for that KDE 5
release *and* all more recent releases, i.e. work your way back up to this
paragraph.  Note that some of the old KDE package names were obsoleted along
the way, they were split up, renamed or integrated and that is the reason
for some of the 'removepkg' lines you'll see below.
Here we go:

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.09 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.07 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.06 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.05_02 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.05 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.04 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.03 installed:
- Upgrade to KDE 5_17.04
  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_17.04:
  * removepkg kajongg
  * removepkg kommander
  * removepkg pim-storage-service-manager

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.02 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.01 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.12 installed:
- Upgrade to KDE 5_17.01
  If you are running Slackware-current, manually install or upgrade libinput
  and libwacom to the Slackware versions.
  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_17.01:
  * removepkg kactivities
  * removepkg nepomuk
  * removepkg nepomuk-widgets
  * removepkg gpgmepp
  * removepkg kdgantt2
  * removepkg kde-baseapps kdepim kdewebdev

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.11 installed:
- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.12
  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.12:
  * removepkg baloo
  * removepkg baloo-widgets

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.08 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.07 installed:
- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.08
  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.07:
  * removepkg kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer
  * removepkg kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers
  * rempovepkg kdesdk-strigi-analyzers
  * removepkg kdepimlibs libkdeedu mplayerthumbs

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.06 installed:
- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.07
  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.07:
  * removepkg /var/log/packages/noto-font-ttf-2015-09-29-noarch-1alien

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.05 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.04 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.03 installed:
- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.04
  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.04:
  * removepkg kactivities-workspace

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.02 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.01 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

Then proceed with installing/upgrading KDE 5 as outlined below.

NOTE:
The example commands below are for Slackware -current but you can use
these commands for Slackware 14.2 as well by replacing the /current/
string with /14.2/ (provided there is a suitable 'ktown' release available
for Slackware 14.2 of course):

NOTE:
Instead of using the mirror host bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/ ,
you could choose the alternative mirror http://slackware.uk/people/alien-kde/

NOTE:
If you use 'slackpkg' to automate your upgrades, be sure to blacklist my
custom packages or else slackpkg will always try to replace my packages
with the stock Slackware versions if the package names are identical.
As an example, you can add the following lines to the file
"/etc/slackpkg/blacklist" to prevent this unintentional downgrading to KDE4:
  # These three lines will blacklist all SBo, alien and multilib packages:
  [0-9]+_SBo
  [0-9]+alien
  [0-9]+compat32
If on the other hand you are using the 'slackpkg+' extension for slackpkg
then your "/etc/slackpkg/blacklist" file should *not* contain the above
lines!  The slackpkg+ extension enables the use of 3rd-party repositories
with slackpkg and then Plasma5 package upgrades will be handled properly.


To make it easy for you, here is a one-line command that downloads the whole
'5' directory (excluding the sources), with 32-bit and 64-bit packages.

  # rsync -Hav rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 5/

Or else, if you want to download packages for just one of the two supported
architectures, you would run one of the following commands instead.

If you want only the 64-bit packages:
  # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86 rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 5/
If you want only the 32-bit packages:
  # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86_64 rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 5/

Assuming you just downloaded the bits you want from the directory tree "5",
you must now change your current directory to where you found this README
(which is the directory called '5').  If you used one of the above "rsync"
commands then you can simply do:

  # cd 5

From within this directory, you run the following commands as root:

  On Slackware 32-bit:
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/*.t?z
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/telepathy/*.t?z
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/kde/*/*.t?z

  On Slackware 64-bit:
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/*.t?z
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/telepathy/*.t?z
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/kde/*/*.t?z

  If you already have one or more non-english language packs installed:

  On Slackware 32-bit:
  # upgradepkg x86/kdei/*.t?z

  On Slackware 64-bit:
  # upgradepkg x86_64/kdei/*.t?z
 
  If you want to have a non-english language pack installed but none is
  currently installed, substitute your country code instead of the 'XX'
  in the next command:
  # upgradepkg --install-new x86_64/kdei/kde-l10n-XX-*.t?z

  Note that these separate language packs contain only the localizations for
  kdelibs4 based applications.  All KDE Frameworks 5 based programs include
  localizations in the packages themselves (meaning that you will get all
  languages installed always).

  Check if any ".new" configuration files have been left behind by
  the upgradepkg commands.  Compare them to their originals and decide
  if you need to use them.
  # find /etc/ -name "*.new"
  A graphical (ncurses) tool for processing these "*.new" files is slackpkg:
  # slackpkg new-config

Then reboot your system.

If all you want is to install the packages I created, then you can skip the
remainder of the README which details how to (re)compile the packages from
their sources; it is not required reading material.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building it all from source:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sources and scripts are separated from the packages in my 'ktown' repository.
If you want the sources for KDE 5, run the following command to download them
(downloading from a mirror will usually be much faster):

  # rsync -Hav rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/source/5/ 5/

There are a lot of 'dependencies' for KDE 5 which you'll have to compile and
install before attempting to compile KDE 5. Compiling and installing these
dependencies on Slackware-current is as easy as:
  # cd 5/deps
  # ./updates.SlackBuild
  # cd -
  # cd 5/deps/telepathy
  # ./telepathy.SlackBuild
  # cd -

Be prepared to wait a *long* time since this will compile a new Qt5 package
among others.  The finished packages will be stored in /tmp and will already
have been installed/upgraded automatically.

Then if you want to compile the KDE packages on your computer, run:
  # cd 5/kde
  # ./KDE.SlackBuild

Wait a long time, and you will find the new packages in /tmp/kde_build .
Note that these packages will already have been installed by KDE.SlackBuild !
Reboot your computer and login to a Plasma session.

Il secondo, che io ho sperimentato di recente, è meno laborioso e prevede l'uso di slackpkgplus, ma potresti dover intervenire  per dei ritocchi in un secondo momento.

Quale dei due metodi preferisci? (io ti consiglio il primo)

trigg

il numero uno  :)

ps è la current non la stable
se hai paura di far domande...
                                             ...hai paura d'imparare
     ... non si finisce mai d'imparare...

Superciuk

L'hai già fatta l'installazione di base o la devi ancora fare? ...Come l'hai fatta?

trigg

allora ho installato la current di slackware
ora hoconfigurato slackpkg e slackpkgplus

sto facendo upgrade all


nella slackpkg/mirror  ho decommentatoo  it in current

dopo l'upgade all devo disinstallare kde (a farlo prima dell'upgrade :(  )
se hai paura di far domande...
                                             ...hai paura d'imparare
     ... non si finisce mai d'imparare...

Superciuk

#5
... dovrebbe essere:

slackpkg remove kde kdei

per rimuovere il vecchio kde e i suoi pacchetti delle lingue.

Poi lo inserisci nella blacklist:

slackpkg blacklist kde

e
slackpkg blacklist kdei

fai l'upgrade (se lo avevi fatto prima va bene lo stesso)

A questo punto puoi anche configurare il repo di Ktown (vedi il mio ultimo post del vademecum), metterlo con priorità (...come avevi fatto con multilib).

Solo dopo aver fatto queste operazioni puoi installarlo con:

slackpkg install ktown

Questo è il secondo metodo, ma se stai armeggiando con slackpkg ti può fare solo bene questa esperienza.

NOTA: quando fai modifiche ai repo, come in questo caso, ricordati di dare i comandi di update.

Se invece pensi ancora al primo metodo sappi che le istruzioni sono già tutte nel README che ho postato, e tu dovresti essere in grado di "leggere" e "procedere" senza ulteriore aiuto...

P.S.
Con la current cerca di fare ricorso a SlackBuilds.org (sbopkg) meno che puoi. Cerca invece di farti bastare il repo di alien più che puoi...

EDIT:

Altra cosa molto importante: con la Current DEVI usare anche il comando slackpkg install-new prima di dare l'upgrade-all.


trigg

ho dato slackpkg install ktown

ha fatto tutto ma quando ho dato logout e digitato xwmconfig
non ho trovato kdeplasma
se hai paura di far domande...
                                             ...hai paura d'imparare
     ... non si finisce mai d'imparare...

Quando si fanno queste cose prima si riavvia il PC poi si avvia il nuovo ambiente. Quindi riavvia e riprova.


Nel caso in cui qualcosa non funzionasse devi vedere quali pacchetti in ktown eventualmente non sono stati installati, per cui dai un:

slackpkg search ktown

Quelli che risultano uninstalled dovrai installarli a mano, con:

slackpkg install pacchetto2 pacchetto1
pacchetto3 ecc.


In alternativa, quando neanche così funzionasse, leggerai quel README e passerai al metodo n.1. Tanto il lavoro con slackpkg dovevi farlo in ogni caso...

Ricordati di riaviare...


EDIT:

Sto provando a fare la stessa installazione ma invece di usare il semplice: slackpkg install ktown, specifico meglio e installo prima:

slackpkg install ktown;deps

poi

slackpkg install ktown;kde

e poi mi cercherò il pacchetto dell'italiano in kdei.

Ti faccio sapere com'è andata.

trigg

forese c'è qualcosa che non va nei mirror

provo a installare i pachetti e mi dice che non li trova
se hai paura di far domande...
                                             ...hai paura d'imparare
     ... non si finisce mai d'imparare...

trigg

bash-4.3# slackpkg install plasma-desktop-5.11.0-x86_64-1alien       

Looking for plasma-desktop-5.11.0-x86_64-1alien in package list. Please wait... DONE

No packages match the pattern for install. Try:

/usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade


bash-4.3#
se hai paura di far domande...
                                             ...hai paura d'imparare
     ... non si finisce mai d'imparare...

Superciuk

Il mirror o funziona oppure no, se ha funzionato prima, e tu non l'hai manomesso, forse funzionerà ancora...

...Piuttosto il nome non è completo, manca l'estensione. Però, prima di continuare, prova a dare:

slackpkg install ktown;kde

e poi fammi sapere.


...L'ho appena fatto io e non funziona.

trigg

con search ktowm mi da questo
senza estensione
se hai paura di far domande...
                                             ...hai paura d'imparare
     ... non si finisce mai d'imparare...

Superciuk

Credo di aver trovato la soluzione...

apri la blacklist e per il momento cancella (o commenta) le voci kde e kdei.

leafpad /etc/slackpkg/blacklist

adesso dai slackpkg install ktown

noterai che i pacchetti selezionati per l'installazione sono molti più di prima. Installali tutti. Poi riavvia il PC. Poi fai partire kde.

Una volta installato bisognerà decidere se inserire il vecchio kde nella blacklist o nella greylist. Il README, che alla fine dovrai leggere, contiene anche informazioni interessanti in proposito...

trigg

se hai paura di far domande...
                                             ...hai paura d'imparare
     ... non si finisce mai d'imparare...

  libappindicator, libburn, libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx,
  libindicator, libinput, libpwquality, libwacom, libxkbcommon, lmdb, mlt,
  ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf, opencv, polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5,
  qrencode, qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, qtav, sni-qt, vid.stab
  and wayland.
  As a side note, libinput and libwacom have become part of Slackware-current.
  Technically that makes them redundant in the above listing, however I still
  compile Plasma5 packages for Slackware 14.2 so I left them in.
  The phonon and poppler packages were extended so that they now support
  Qt5 as well as Qt4.
  Note that the SBo version of 'frei0r-plugins' package is called 'frei0r'.
  If you have that SBo package installed, remove it.
- A completely new subset of "deps" packages, contained in their own
  "telepathy" subdirectory, needed for KDE Telepathy:
  libotr, libnice, farstream, libaccounts-glib, libaccounts-qt5,
  signon, signon-plugin-oauth2, signon-ui, libsignon-glib, telegram-qt,
  telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble,
  telepathy-morse, telepathy-qt5, telepathy-logger, telepathy-logger-qt5,
  telepathy-mission-control and telepathy-accounts-signon.
- Telepathy for KDE packages are found in their own subdirectory kde/telepathy .
- The kde/kde4 and kde/kde4-extragear directories contain packages that are
  still required to support kdelibs4-based Applications.
- Also worth mentioning: the KF5 ports of calligra, digikam, kile, krita,
  ktorrent, partitionmanager, skanlite and the KDE Development Suite
  can be found in kde/applications-extra .
  Finally, kjots (previously contained in KDEPIM) and kuser (abandoned by its
  developer) have been moved into kde/applications-extra as well.

NOTE:
If you install a 32bit program on a 64bit Slackware computer with multilib
and that program needs legacy system tray support (think of Steam for
instance), you will have to grab the 32-bit version of Slackware's
'libdbusmenu-qt' and my ktown-deps package 'sni-qt', and run the
'convertpkg-compat32 -i' command on them to create 'compat32' versions
of these packages.  Then install both 'libdbusmenu-qt-compat32' and
'sni-qt-compat32'.  Those two are mandatory addons for displaying
system tray icons of 32bit binaries in 64bit multilib Plasma5.

NOTE:
Also explained in more detail below, upgrading to this KDE 5 is non-trivial.
You will have to remove old KDE 4 packages manually.  If you do not have KDE
installed at all, you will have to *install* some of Slackware's own KDE 4
packages manually.

NOTE:
If you decide to install these packages on top of a fresh installation of
  Slackware 14.2 or -current and have excluded all packages in the 'KDE'
  package series during installation, you will be missing several add-on
  packages.  You can optionally install the following Slackware packages:
    * amarok
    * kaudiocreator
    * kplayer
    * kwebkitpart

NOTE:
If you had installed KDE 4 as your default desktop previously, the removal
of KDE 4 packages will break the symbolic link '/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc'.
An attempt to run 'startx' in a console will fail with a black screen.
After installing Plasma 5 for the first time, you need to run 'xwmconfig'
and select 'xinitrc.plasma' as your desktop session.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install pre-compiled packages:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In order to install or upgrade KDE 5, follow these steps:

Make sure you are not running KDE or even X !  If you are running an X session,
log out first, and if you are in runlevel 4 (graphical login) you first have to
go back to runlevel 3 (console) by typing "init 3".

If you still have a KDE 4 installed, it must be removed first. No clean
upgrade path can be provided!  Do as follows:

If you have Slackware 14.2 or -current's default KDE 4.14.3 installed:
  # removepkg /var/log/packages/*-4.14.3-*
  # removepkg libkscreen
  # removepkg kscreen
  # removepkg kactivities
  # removepkg kde-workspace
  # removepkg libmm-qt
  # removepkg libnm-qt
  # removepkg plasma-nm
  # removepkg polkit-kde-agent-1
  # removepkg polkit-kde-kcmodules-1
  # removepkg kdeconnect-kde
  # removepkg kdepim
  # removepkg kdepimlibs
  # removepkg kdev-python
  # removepkg kdevelop-php
  # removepkg kdevelop-php-docs
  ..or instead of the above, simply '# slackpkg remove kde' and de-select
  the packages you want to keep (amarok, etc).

Alternatively, in case you are already using an older release of my KDE 5
packages, you need to look up that particular release in the list right below
(for instance: KDE 5_16.08) and then apply the actions shown for that KDE 5
release *and* all more recent releases, i.e. work your way back up to this
paragraph.  Note that some of the old KDE package names were obsoleted along
the way, they were split up, renamed or integrated and that is the reason
for some of the 'removepkg' lines you'll see below.
Here we go:

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.09 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.07 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.05 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.04 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.03 installed:
- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.04
  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.04:
  * removepkg kactivities-workspace

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.02 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.01 installed:
- No further actions are needed.

Then proceed with installing/upgrading KDE 5 as outlined below.

NOTE:
The example commands below are for Slackware -current but you can use
these commands for Slackware 14.2 as well by replacing the /current/
string with /14.2/ (provided there is a suitable 'ktown' release available
for Slackware 14.2 of course):

NOTE:
Instead of using the mirror host bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/ ,
you could choose the alternative mirror http://slackware.uk/people/alien-kde/

NOTE:
If you use 'slackpkg' to automate your upgrades, be sure to blacklist my
custom packages or else slackpkg will always try to replace my packages
with the stock Slackware versions if the package names are identical.
As an example, you can add the following lines to the file
"/etc/slackpkg/blacklist" to prevent this unintentional downgrading to KDE4:
  # These three lines will blacklist all SBo, alien and multilib packages:
  [0-9]+_SBo
  [0-9]+alien
  [0-9]+compat32
If on the other hand you are using the 'slackpkg+' extension for slackpkg
then your "/etc/slackpkg/blacklist" file should *not* contain the above
lines!  The slackpkg+ extension enables the use of 3rd-party repositories
with slackpkg and then Plasma5 package upgrades will be handled properly.


To make it easy for you, here is a one-line command that downloads the whole
'5' directory (excluding the sources), with 32-bit and 64-bit packages.

  # rsync -Hav rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 5/

Or else, if you want to download packages for just one of the two supported
architectures, you would run one of the following commands instead.

If you want only the 64-bit packages:
  # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86 rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 5/
If you want only the 32-bit packages:
  # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86_64 rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 5/

Assuming you just downloaded the bits you want from the directory tree "5",
you must now change your current directory to where you found this README
(which is the directory called '5').  If you used one of the above "rsync"
commands then you can simply do:

  # cd 5

From within this directory, you run the following commands as root:

  On Slackware 32-bit:
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/*.t?z
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/telepathy/*.t?z
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/kde/*/*.t?z

  On Slackware 64-bit:
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/*.t?z
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/telepathy/*.t?z
  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/kde/*/*.t?z

  If you already have one or more non-english language packs installed:

  On Slackware 32-bit:
  # upgradepkg x86/kdei/*.t?z

  On Slackware 64-bit:
  # upgradepkg x86_64/kdei/*.t?z
 
  If you want to have a non-english language pack installed but none is
  currently installed, substitute your country code instead of the 'XX'
  in the next command:
  # upgradepkg --install-new x86_64/kdei/kde-l10n-XX-*.t?z

  Note that these separate language packs contain only the localizations for
  kdelibs4 based applications.  All KDE Frameworks 5 based programs include
  localizations in the packages themselves (meaning that you will get all
  languages installed always).

  Check if any ".new" configuration files have been left behind by
  the upgradepkg commands.  Compare them to their originals and decide
  if you need to use them.
  # find /etc/ -name "*.new"
  A graphical (ncurses) tool for processing these "*.new" files is slackpkg:
  # slackpkg new-config

Then reboot your system.

If all you want is to install the packages I created, then you can skip the
remainder of the README which details how to (re)compile the packages from
their sources; it is not required reading material.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building it all from source:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sources and scripts are separated from the packages in my 'ktown' repository.
If you want the sources for KDE 5, run the following command to download them
(downloading from a mirror will usually be much faster):

  # rsync -Hav rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/source/5/ 5/

There are a lot of 'dependencies' for KDE 5 which you'll have to compile and
install before attempting to compile KDE 5. Compiling and installing these
dependencies on Slackware-current is as easy as:
  # cd 5/deps
  # ./updates.SlackBuild
  # cd -
  # cd 5/deps/telepathy
  # ./telepathy.SlackBuild
  # cd -

Be prepared to wait a *long* time since this will compile a new Qt5 package
among others.  The finished packages will be stored in /tmp and will already
have been installed/upgraded automatically.

Then if you want to compile the KDE packages on your computer, run:
  # cd 5/kde
  # ./KDE.SlackBuild

Wait a long time, and you will find the new packages in /tmp/kde_build .
Note that these packages will already have been installed by KDE.SlackBuild !
Reboot your computer and login to a Plasma session.
